To tint or not?

Hey guys!

Just purchased this bad boy from a 6speed member and was thinking about tinting....will definitely tint the windows and do the mirror inserts but a little unsure about smoking the lights to match...what do you guys think? thanks in advance!

Do the Windows tomorrow and get the carbon mirror inserts the next day.

As far as smoking the rear lights I would say a light smoke would be good enough.

Do NOT smoke the lights. Certainly do the windows. Nice looking ride, enjoy it.

Looks like you might need a silver crest.

Don't get the inserts, they're tacky when you see them in person. I've really been debating tinting my windows, going to get it done next month along with a few other mods.

If you get bored of your exhaust let me know, i wanted to buy it from Ian if the car ended up getting parted out!

I like the smoked tail lights on a guards red car (see AntZ car), but not on the others. Window tinting is on my list too.

Must tint in So Cal (Not too dark though)! Forget the smoked lights. Enjoy!
